The total sales for last year were 14.6 million units, so as you can see, Sony has already surpassed that total, thanks mainly to its strong third quarter. By the end of the fourth quarter, Sony expects to have sold 17.5 million units and it seems like it is well on its way to doing so.

It certainly seems things are looking up for Sony as a whole, with the company posting $21.5 billion in revenue for the quarter and while this is only a 1% increase over last year, Net income rose 33 per cent.
